Zolotkovsky has also served in leading finance roles at software and AdTech companies, including JW Player and AdoTube, a division of Exponential Interactive.
Zory joins the team as Chief Human Resources Officer where she will head building and scaling Dreamscape’s HR function to ensure it is aligned to business strategy and delivers exemplary outcomes. As a leading business strategist and culture curator, Rose has led the growth and transformation of innovative organizations across AdTech, MarTech, as well as media and advertising agencies, including Integral Ad Science, Dentsu, Digitas, and Publicis Groupe.

The expansion of the executive team comes on the heels of GTCR and Dreamscape’s June acquisition of SMI and April acquisition of SQAD.
“We are at a pivotal moment in the advertising industry where accurate tracking of ad spend patterns is increasingly crucial to understanding the health of the marketplace and driving media strategies,” said Scott Knoll, CEO of PC Dreamscape. “Our combined robust insights from SMI and SQAD are a source of truth as we navigate the path ahead where fears of recession loom. Under the guidance and expertise of our expanded leadership team, Dreamscape – and the companies under it – will further solidify itself as a leader in the advertising space and continue to expand the scope and functionality of our solutions to further help our clients.”
